I Got Burnt From Wax, Please Suggest Me Remedy

I went to a salon today and ended up with a red mark on my upper lip. I'm guessing I got burnt from the wax. I applied ice, cream, and aloe vera (which stung like crazy) but is there anything else I can do ? It looks horrible and so embarrassed by it.

We need to know hw deep is the burn,if it is only red then it is superficial but if you have a blister_bubble then it may be deep;none the less the treatment does not change. If it burns a lot then apply wet napkin till the burning stops and apply Petroleum jelly or vaseline 4-5 times/day,It should heel soon, if you desire mail your photogrpah on pchhajlani@hotmail.com,to get a better opinion.
